WOLF HALL

England stands at the brink of transformation. King Henry VIII, consumed by his need for a male heir, is determined to end his marriage to Katherine of Aragon and marry the captivating Anne Boleyn. As powerful enemies clash over the future of the kingdom, one man rises from obscurity to the very centre of power. Brilliant and endlessly resourceful, Thomas Cromwell must navigate a dangerous world of shifting loyalties and life-or-death political battles.

See both parts! A Sweeping Saga of Power, Passion and Betrayal 

Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies tell one of the most compelling stories ever brought to the stage: the rise of Thomas Cromwell, the transformation of England and the extraordinary ascent and fall of Anne Boleyn. Adapted from Hilary Mantel's wildly popular and acclaimed novels, these two plays combine political intrigue, human drama and unforgettable characters in a theatrical event of rare scope and power.

This Canadian premiere brings to Stratford the celebrated stage adaptations first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, where they earned extraordinary acclaim. The Daily Mail called them "the must-see theatre event of the year." The Sunday Times praised them as "history as sparkling, fleet-footed entertainment... there is literally never a dull moment."

Individually compelling and even richer in combination, these two plays chart one of history's most fascinating chapters.

The production marks the Stratford Festival directorial debut of Artistic Director Jonathan Church. Church has directed celebrated productions across the UK and London's West End, including Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby, which became a sold-out sensation and demonstrated the remarkable impact of experiencing an epic story unfold across two productions.
